This building will be established in Tokyo Bay Japan if this plan is approved the building will be completed in 2045.

11 | Die Berg Komt Er

die berg komt er

This is a crazy idea that appears in the Netherlands. Because the contours of the area are flat, there is a desire to make artificial mountain as high as 2 km ( 2,000m ). Initially, the idea put forward by Thijs Zonneveld was considered only a comedy but gradually gained serious support from the Dutch Ski Association, Dutch Climbing and Mountaineering Association (NKBV), and Royal Dutch Cycling Union (KNWU). But in the realization is still very difficult because to make a dense mountain as high as 2 km takes about 2.7 billion tons of sand material, of course, this will also leave the deep hole in other parts.

12 | Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid

Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid

Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid is a giant pyramid building initiated by Shimizu Corporation. This pyramid is planned to be built in Tokyo Bay with a size 14 times higher than the Pyramids in Giza, Egypt. The total height of this building structure will reach 2,000 meters with framework that similar to the Egyptian pyramid. With a capacity of 1 million people, this building is expected to cope with the explosion of human population in Japan in the future. Due to its super-large structure, ordinary building materials can not be used. Therefore Japanese scientists are developing a lightweight and super strong material using carbon nanotubes element. Based on Wikipedia, construction will begin in 2030 and finish in 2100.

13 | Aeropolis 2001

aeropolis 2001

The building is also planned to be built in Tokyo Bay, Japan with a height of 2,001 meters and contains 500 floors. This idea has long been proposed by Obayashi Corporation in 1989 when there was a markup of Japanese asset prices but until now there has been no realization. In addition to Aeropolis 2001, Obayashi Corp. also proposes a municipal development on the moon by 2050. It sounds impossible but let's see if it will actually be realized in the future.

14 | Dubai City Tower

Dubai is not to be outdone, The futuristic design of the building has been prepared for the latest technology of the future. Dubai City Tower or Dubai Vertical City is the Megatall skyscraper announced in 2008. The building will rise as high as 2,400 meters. Its construction has 400 floors with vertical transport as an elevated elevator with a high speed of 200km/h. The design of this building has a central core with 6 outbuildings connected to the central core every 100 floors. This design is considered capable of stabilizing the structure and can flatten the mass.

15 | Ultima Tower

ultima tower

Ultima Tower is a hypothetical skyscraper, designed by American architect Eugene Tsui in 1991. The building is expected to be built in San Francisco, California. Ultima Tower will have a capacity of up to 1 million people with a total height of 3,218 meters or as high as 2 mill, 500 floors with ground floor width of 1828.8 meters and 140 square km total interior area. Tsui estimates that the funds disbursed can reach 150 billion US Dollars. Ultima Tower utilizes different air pressure at the top and at the base of the building to generate electrical power for the building. The main purpose of this building concept is to address the problem of population increase and as a mini ecosystem for its inhabitants.

16 | X-Seed 4000

x-seed 4000

X-Seed 4000 is the tallest building ever conceived. This remarkable idea came from Peter Neville. The building will have a fantastic height of up to 4 kilometers ( 4,000m ) and its ground width extending up to 6 kilometers. This building has 800 floors that can accommodate 500 thousand to 1 million residents. X-Seed 4000 is dedicated to Tokyo City Japan by Taisei Corporation in 1995. An ultra modern futuristic dwelling that is eco-friendly with Magnet Train as its transportation tool. Most of these designs are inspired by mount Fuji even beyond the height of Mount Fuji which is only 3,776 m. As quoted on the page Wikipedia "X-Seed 4000 was never intended to be built" said Georges Binder, a managing director of Buildings Data, a company that compiles bank data on buildings around the world. "The purpose of this plan is to gain some recognition for the company, and it works" he concluded.

17 | ThothX Tower

thoth-x tower

A super high tower as high as 20 km ( 20,000 m ). This is not a joke or hypothesis but a concept that has patent rights and can be realized. The TothX Tower was designed by the Canadian space company Thoth Technologies, which uses air-tube blocks in its construction with a diameter of 230 meters. This tube is like a light-period air-filled balloon of nitrogen, hydrogen, and helium. Around there is a self-climbing elevator that can carry loads of up to 10 tons. At its peak, there are airfields for spacecraft or rockets. The flywheel is also used to stabilize this construction. ThothX Tower is also claimed to be able to save 30% of the rocket fuel needed to reach orbit. So this construction is more dedicated for the purposes of space observation that will be used by NASA, SPACEX or other space companies.

18 | Space Elevator

space elevator

This idea sounds like in science fiction movies, but this is an idea that is being developed. An elevator into space through a cable extending to a height of 35800 km connects the surface of the earth on the equator with geostationary orbit in space. Space Elevator is a solution to transport something from Earth directly into space without using a rocket. But to make it happen still encountered constraints such as cable materials needed to be super strong and super lightweight. Some materials that are considered to meet the criteria are carbon nanotubes (CNTs), nitride nanotubes and diamond nanothread. However, it is still under research.
